The Model 3883 Strobe is a smaller strobe intended for applications that require periodic images. It is not intended for applications that would require continuous repetition rates faster than 7 seconds. It is optimized for small size and weight, and is thus most suited for ROV, AUV, Pogo or manned submersible applications requiring a few hundred images per deployment. For more rigorous applications use the Model 3831 strobe.

Ocean Imaging Systems (OIS) released its first digital still camera in 2002. The DSC 24,000 Digital Still Camera is the latest in our line of digital still cameras. Featuring a 24.1 megapixel sensor, a Nikon F mount lens, high pressure optical glass view port and various housing options, the DSC 24,000 offers exceptional image quality for ROV, towed and autonomous applications.

The Ocean Imaging System (OIS) Sediment Profiling Camera has evolved from the original Model 3731 sediment camera designed at Benthos in the early 1980’s with a 4000 meter depth rating. The original camera was developed in cooperation with Dr. Donald Rhoads and Dr. Joseph Germano who pioneered Sediment Profile Imaging (SPI) at Yale University.

Designed as a scaling device for video and digital cameras, the Ocean Imaging Systems Model 400-37 laser features a titanium housing and connector, sapphire optical port, and an adjustable “ball in socket” mounting clamp. Typically, two lasers (or optionally 4) are mounted and aimed to place two laser “dots” within the field of view of the camera, a known distance apart. The dots serve as a known reference for scaling objects within the image.
